Many thanks to you all. That leaves me with two to do.

53a. John, deserted by Cameron voter, produces semi-solid extrusion from the bowels. (4) _ A _ A. Is it 'Lava'?

70a. It's not odd, leaving a normal lifetime in such a filthy place. (3) S _ _. Is it 'Sty'?

Thanks.

[Mamyalynne]

Yes


Seventy minus even - Sty

[Mamyalynne]

John - Lav

So it must be, not sure how 'cameron voter' gets the 'a'

[FrogNog]

53a yes lava. Lavatory = john
tory = Dave voter
Lava (tory)

[1ozzy]

Lav a tory ?

[scorpiojo]

Lava Tory

[frugalfred]

lava(tory) tory - get rid of from John, a lavatory.

[Mamyalynne]

I need a lie down.
